APPS2SD not working on Modaco 2.1 r5

[Guest TheMrMay]

I've updated my Hero to 2.1 r5, but I've got an issue: Accounts & Sync never opens (always FCs)

Whenever I install an app, my internal memory decreases by the size of that app. So APPS2SD isn't working?

edit: problem solved after complete wipe and reflash of ROM.

I've updated my Hero to 2.1 r5, but have had a few issues. Accounts & Sync never opens, always FCs, beebplayer didn't get installed, even though it was selected in the kitchen.

However, here is the biggest conundrum. Whenever I install an app, my internal memory decreases by the size of that app. I have around 20 apps installed, and my internal memory is at 54mb! Surely this means A2SD isn't working?

Yet, when I use the commands ls -l /data and busybox df -h via a terminal emulator, everything seems fine; indicating A2SD is working. (I've included some images to show this.)

I partitioned my SD correctly, and in the right order. So what have I done wrong?

I imagine this is because your Dalvik cache is still on the phone, as is /data/data, the latter being where apps' data is stored.

You can move the Dalvik cache to SD, using Apps2SD+ (or even manually perhaps); I'm having to do this now, as with 250-odd apps, I'm out of space in /data even with Apps2SD, because of a 95MB Dalvik cache.

Try: du -sk /data/dalvik-cache /data/data

and you'll see where most of your space is going.
